in fact, the gun laws here are much stricter than the united states. we need to keep in mind that here it is not a right to own a gun. that's not written into the constitution. it's a privilege to own a gun, and i want to give you some idea about numbers and how all of that looks in comparison with the u.s. you have, what, somewhere of more than 300 million people in the u.s., and about 300 million guns. in israel you have somewhere around 8 million. it's getting up to 8 million, 170,000 private individuals are allowed to carry guns. they have to take a test. they have to get a note from a doctor saying they're both psychologically and physically fit. they have to be trained. no one, no private citizen can get an assault rifle. so there's a combination of things that people say work mere, including strict gun laws and security that's tighter than many places in the world. you have to keep in mind this is a place that has dealt with terrorist attacks many years. >> one thing that struck me in jerusalem and strikes a lot of people is you have uniformed s

we're simply not taking that ability of lawful self-defense. you're restricted in few places to carry. a school is not one of them. this isn't anything new. we never had a problem. >> but the larger question then is more really about gun control. are more guns the answer or are fewer guns the answer? and the other thing that i want to point out is teachers, of course, are equipped to teach. they are trained to teach. not necessarily trained and equipped to fire guns. so my question is, should it really be the teacher's responsibility to learn how to shoot a gun when that's not the main goal of why they are there at the school. >> with all due respect, are teachers trained to jump in front of bullets and protect their kids too? when we talk about more guns, are more guns the answer? who do you think they call and why do they call the police when something like this happens because they know the police will show up with their guns. the only problem is the police show up a little too late. they have lots of guns and equipment and man power, but ju

it's all about the law of supply and demand. supply is up so demand goes down. you see gas prices moving lower. but also because demand for gas is down because of the fiscal cliff. the big worries about the fiscal cliff and how that's going to affect the economy as a whole. you look at oil prices and they have barely moved since late october. oil prices are between $85 to $90 a barrel since late october. and when oil prices stabilize for a longer time, as they have been, it gives gas prices a better chance to stabilize as well. but you look at it broadly, though, the gas prices are not falling for the the right reason. we could go back into a recession and it's those concerns for a downturn in the economy that are actually pushing prices lower. >> all right. alison kosik, live from the new york stock exchange. thank you as always. >>> the head of the national rifle association says to call him crazy for proposing more guns in schools. the nra's ceo wayne lapierre insists a ban on assault weapons won't prevent mass killings, which he blames on violent video games
